Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue “Advances in Food Processing”. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring the most updated information on the most common and recently developed food manufacturing processes while addressing relevant food safety and quality issues. It will also address issues in the design of food processing operations and the necessary equipment along with the reliability, safety, and maintainability management tools. Different food manufacturing processes can include products of plant and animal origin, such as grains, spices, meat, dairy, nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages and wine, instant foods, bakery and confectionery, fruits and vegetables, oils and fats, poultry, nuts, seafood, cocoa and baked coffee, snacks, starch products, and functional foods. The processes include any physical properties and changes to the food product that result in preservation of the food, extending to transportation, products shelf-life, or improvements in the product’s quality attributes. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring innovative research and advances in the fields of food processing. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome as are comprehensive review and survey papers.
